Gathering Life Patterns from Patients through Mobile Devices

Abstract

Since today almost every patient has a smartphone, the life patterns of patients can be determined by their GPS data. These life patterns enable physicians to gain deeper insight into a patient's life. For this purpose, first the GPS data are recorded in the form of trajectories, then stored and subsequently evaluated. The findings from thus gained life patterns should be available in a relevant and graphically appealing form to a physician.

The aim of this thesis is the design, implementation and evaluation of a software solution that allows physicians to determine a more accurate picture, in the form of a life patterns of their patients.Knowledge of Trajectory Data Mining and practical experience with Android applications are desirable but not necessary.
